Appendix B INDIANAPOLIS INDIANS GAME PROMOTIONS

The Indians revamped the scheduling of game promotions over the past two seasons. The modifications were intended to build momentum not only into 2005 but also in future seasons. Game promotions were scheduled in an effort to consistently match the day of the week. Over time, it will be easier to communicate to fans, as they in turn become more familiar with our consistent schedule. We plan to continue this format as the schedule permits for the 2006 season. The consistent schedule also presents opportunities to create synergy with sponsors as they wish to be associated with a particular night or promotion throughout the season. This will create different and larger pieces of inventory that have not been taken to the market in previous seasons. As we continue this new approach, we build from our strengths. Saturday night at Victory Field has traditionally been the most successful night in the International League. This continues to be the cornerstone of the promotional plan. Each home Saturday will be billed as a Spectacular Saturday at Victory Field featuring live entertainment acts or cartoon character appearances during the game. Our goal continues to be to make Saturday night at Victory Field as exciting and as memorable as possible for our fans. As our Saturday nights reach capacity, we will generate more demand for our other weekend games on Fridays and Sundays. Each Sunday will be a Souvenir Sunday with 4,000 fans receiving a premier Indians souvenir item. Beginning in May, each Friday night will feature a post-game fireworks show. The consistent approach will also be taken for our weekday games. Each Monday will feature a Monday Dollar Menu with a number of concessions items available for only $1. Each Tuesday will be a 2-for-1 Tuesday as an Indians sponsor will offer 2-for-1 discount admission coupons. Meanwhile, most Wednesday home games will be Business Day games and each Thursday will feature a value pack option when purchasing tickets. The value pack includes a game ticket, a drink and hot dog along with a souvenir from the gift shop. Fridays again will be fireworks and Saturday continue to turn into ZOOper Zaturdays with our ZOOperstars performing between select innings. For each game promotion in 2010 we will review broadening the scope of each promotion by closely examining opportunities for group ticket sales, earned media coverage, community outreach and themed merchandise. Additional information on our consistent promotional approach is described in the following pages: Mondays: Monday Dollar Menu. Each Monday night will feature a number of concession items available for only $1 each. During the 2010 season, the items were hot dogs, peanuts, popcorn, Cracker Jack and potato chips. The Indians will work with Aramark to identify items and opportunities for 2011. The discounted menu

items act as loss leaders to attract fans to the ballpark paying full price for tickets on a traditionally slow night. The increased awareness and attendance at these Monday games also has the ability to build awareness and interest in other weekday games. Tuesdays: 2-for-1 Tuesdays. For each Tuesday game, fans will be able to receive two-for-one admission through the Indianapolis Star. In addition to creating a consistent promotional identification for fans, this has the potential to build synergy with two-for-one night sponsors such as the Indianapolis Star. Wednesdays: Business Day Game. Numerous Wednesdays at Victory Field will be a Business Day Game. Over the past few seasons attendance for Wednesday Business Day games had been gaining momentum, at times nearly rivaling Thursday night games. In addition to the appeal of a weekday afternoon game to the walk-up ticket buyer, we have seen success with advance sales of large groups, pre-game picnics, and suite-level entertainment. Business Day games also represent a point of difference between the Indians and the other professional sports teams in central Indiana as the Pacers, Colts, Fever, and Ice do not typically offer weekday matinees. We will contact potential new target audiences such as day care centers, summer school programs and retirement communities. New opportunities for media partners and promotion will be explored as well. Thursdays: Thursday Value Pack. Despite the popularity of the Thursday Theme Nights held in previous seasons, the Indians decided to add more value to a Thursday night game by allowing the option for the walk-up ticket buyer to spend a couple extra dollars to get more bang for their buck. Purchasing a Thursday Value Pack included a game ticket, hot dog, soda and souvenir item that could be redeemed at the Gift Shop. Fridays: Fireworks Nights. Beginning in May, each Friday night at Victory Field will feature a post-game Fireworks Show. Fireworks nights have been a great attraction through the years and we again anticipate a consistent offering being a boost to our Friday night lineup. In addition to being both a drawing card and a value-added element to the game experience, the post-game shows encourage fans to stay longer and potentially spend more money during their visit. Saturdays: ZOOper Zaturdays. As mentioned earlier, the premiere event of each week will be ZOOper Zaturdays at Victory Field. Each Saturday will feature the entertainment acts from the ZOOper Stars, that will perform and/or interact with fans throughout the game. Sundays: Souvenir Sundays. The Indians will continue the tradition of Souvenir Sundays at Victory Field. At each Sunday game 2,500 - 5,000 fans will receive a premiere Indians souvenir item. Knot Hole members will have the opportunity to run the bases after each Sunday game. Souvenir giveaway items that will be considered for 2010 included:

Appendix C INDIANAPOLIS INDIANS FAN SURVEY

The following are results from a survey of attendees during the 2010 Baseball Season, conducted June-August, 2010 at Victory Field. The mission of the survey was to provide answers to questions that will assist the Indians in reaching its goals. This was a paper survey that included 23 questions, although the results of all 23 questions are not included in this report. Instead, we have included the results from ten of the questions. Data was collected at Victory Field on six different dates including June 25, 26, July 21 and 22, and August 15, 16. The sample base was 477, and the margin of error approximately +/- 4.35. When reading frequency data the Valid Percent is the percentage of those respondents who answered that particular question and is the percent used in most questions. The Percent is based on the total number of respondents that started the survey. The System Missing number is based on the number of respondents that started the survey but did not answer that particular question. Those respondents may have dropped out voluntarily or been treed out based on previous answers. The Indians Fan Survey was conducted by Survey America of Indiana, Inc.
